Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprises a processor configured to buffer data for uplink transmission. The processor is configured to trigger a first scheduling request. The processor is configured to start a timer based on the buffered data. A transmitter is configured to transmit the first scheduling request to a network. The processor is configured, in response to receipt of an uplink grant sufficient to transmit the buffered data, to stop the timer. The processor is configured while the timer is running, to not have the transmitter transmit another scheduling request The processor is configured, after the timer expires, to have the transmitter transmit a second scheduling request to the network.

Abstract: A Node-B sends a polling message to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU sends an uplink synchronization burst in response to the polling message without contention. The Node-B estimates an uplink timing shift based on the synchronization burst and sends an uplink timing adjustment command to the WTRU. The WTRU then adjusts uplink timing based on the uplink timing adjustment command. Alternatively, the Node-B may send a scheduling message for uplink synchronization to the WTRU. The WTRU may send a synchronization burst based on the scheduling message. Alternatively, the WTRU may perform contention-based uplink synchronization after receiving a synchronization request from the Node-B. The WTRU may enter an idle state instead of performing a handover to a new cell when the WTRU moves to the new cell. A discontinuous reception (DRX) interval for the WTRU may be set based on activity of the WTRU.

Abstract: A method performed by a WTRU may comprise receiving scheduling information on a broadcast control channel (BCCH) which defines time periods for reception of broadcast messages transmitted on a downlink shared channel. The WTRU may determine whether additional messages are available upon request. The availability of the additional messages is indicated via the BCCH. The WTRU may transmit a request for one or more of the additional messages.

Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is configured to transmit scheduling information over a first uplink channel, on a condition that the WTRU has an uplink scheduling grant to transmit uplink data. In response to a triggering condition, when the WTRU is not transmitting on the first uplink channel, the WTRU is configured to transmit a plurality of a same value over a second uplink channel. The second uplink channel is a control channel. The transmission of the plurality of the same value is based on having an insufficient uplink scheduling grant for the first uplink channel.

Abstract: A first allocation of physical resources for uplink transmission is received over a downlink signaling channel. Data of a logical channel is received. A first block is transmitted over the first allocated physical resources in response to receipt of the data of the logical channel. A timer is initiated in response to transmission of the first block. In response to an expiration of the timer and not receiving a second allocation of physical resources, a first type of request from a plurality of types of requests is selected and the selected first type of request for the second allocation of physical resources is transmitted over an uplink signaling channel. The second allocation of physical resources is received in response to the transmitted first type of request. A second block is transmitted in response to the second allocation of physical resources over the second allocated physical resources.

Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may generate, on a condition that a scheduling request and an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) or channel quality information (CQI) are to be transmitted, a message having the scheduling request and the ACK/NACK or the CQI. The message may be transmitted over a physical uplink control channel. The WTRU may determine whether scheduling request information, including buffer status, is to be transmitted. The scheduling request information may be transmitted as in-band information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for dynamic resource allocation, scheduling and signaling for variable data real time services (RTS) in long term evolution (LTE) systems. Preferably, changes in data rate for uplink RTS traffic are reported to an evolved Node B (eNB) by a UE using layer 1, 2 or 3 signaling. The eNB dynamically allocates physical resources in response to a change in data rate by adding or removing radio blocks currently assigned to the data flow, and the eNB signals the new resource assignment to the UE. In an alternate embodiment, tables stored at the eNB and the UE describe mappings of RTS data rates to physical resources under certain channel conditions, such that the UE uses the table to locally assign physical resources according to changes in UL data rates. Additionally, a method and apparatus for high level configuration of RTS data flows is also presented.

This includes time/frequency mapping of above-mentioned control signals into resource blocks (RBs) of multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) single frequency network (MBSFN)-reserved sub-frames in the RN cell and encoding procedures for these.

Abstract: A combined open loop and closed loop (channel quality indicator (CQI)-based) transmit power control (TPC) scheme with interference mitigation for a long term evolution (LTE) wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is disclosed. The transmit power of the WTRU is derived based on a target signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR) and a pathloss value. The pathloss value pertains to the downlink signal from a serving evolved Node-B (eNodeB) and includes shadowing. An interference and noise value of the serving eNodeB is included in the transmit power derivation, along with an offset constant value to adjust for downlink (DL) reference signal power and actual transmit power. A weighting factor is also used based on the availability of CQI feedback.

Abstract: A method and wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for uplink transmission are disclosed. A WTRU receives configuration information. The configuration information includes logical channel priority information and a maximum number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmissions. For a transmission time interval (TTI), the WTRU identifies a HARQ process to use for uplink transmission for the TTI on a condition that an uplink grant is for the TTI. The WTRU selects data for uplink transmission for the TTI. For a new uplink transmission, data is allocated in decreasing order of priority based on the logical channel priority information. The WTRU initializes a transmission counter. The transmission counter indicates a number of transmissions associated with the selected data. The WTRU transmits the selected data over an uplink channel based on the uplink grant using the identified HARQ process.
